Under contract-accepting backup offers. This Indian Beach Estates, custom ranch was almost entirely rebuilt in 2013. It now has 3 bedrooms, 2 and half baths and an oversized 2 car, side load garage. There is still a Florida mid-century feel with deep eaves and large expanses of terrazzo floors, but the upgrades are very 21st Century. Today, you'll find a modern and open kitchen with Energy Star, stainless steel appliances and a beautiful breakfast bar overlooking the main living room. This living room, with dual sets of French doors opens to a lanai with a vaulted ceiling providing a perfect spot for year-round el fresco dining. For more formal entertaining you may prefer the dining room which also provides an "indoor/outdoor" experience with a large patio discreetly screened with lush palm trees. The master suite has 8' 8" ceilings, direct access to the private patio, his and her walk-in closets and a large bath with a spacious shower and separate soaker tub. Down the hall you'll find the other two bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet and each sharing an updated bath. There's a powder room for your guests, an interior laundry and even a small pantry adjacent to the kitchen. The garage, with paver driveway has an 8' high door and plenty of room for your toys and hobbies. The most exceptional features are those you might not notice right away. Impact resistant windows, a super insulated attic, radiant barriers in the walls and 26-gauge, galvanized steel, hip roof. These features contribute to the Florida Green Building Coalition Silver Rating which means significant energy savings and preferable insurance rates. The large lot creates a real sense of privacy and dramatically long site lines in every direction. And, there is still plenty of room for a pool on this quarter acre parcel. Indian Beach Estates is adjacent to the Ringling Museums and near most north side cultural institutions. It is known for having larger parcels close the bay yet well above flood zones. You'll be quite near Sun Circle bayfront park which is a wonderful place to walk along the waterfront and enjoy sunsets over Sarasota Bay and Longboat Key. This is also where you can launch kayaks and boards for a paddle along the north shore. Live here and you are only 2 miles north of downtown Sarasota, a 12-minute drive to St. Armands Circle and the beaches of Lido and Longboat Key and an equal distance to University Parkway anchored on the west by SRQ International Airport and the UTC shopping district and I75 on the east.
